RT Shaiel Ben-Ephraim (@academic_la)Just had a long talk with a former IAF commander on why Iran is managing to shoot down these US planes. He told me that since the 12 day war Iran has rethought its entire system after seeing how easily it was bombed. The new system is far better and more resilient and Israeli pilots have noticed how difficult it is to operate there now:1) Each of Iran's 31 zones now has the authority to operate independently if central command is cut off, allowing local commanders to laun ...

Marco Rubio is circumventing Congress to fast-track the sale up to $16.5 billion in air defense systems, radars and missiles to Middle East allies that have borne the brunt of Iranian retaliation https://t.co/EklIrUKKHE ...

RT China News (@ChinaENX)A very unusual fall of one of the Iranian ballistic missiles in the skies over Tel Aviv, following a zigzagging, spiral trajectory…At first glance, you might think the missile is suffering from aerodynamic instability, causing it to spin around itself and create this twisted spiral shape. The falling glowing fragments may also suggest that it is breaking apart.However, while that could explain the missile’s rotation, it does not explain the complexity of its curved trajectory in thi ...

RT محمد عبدالملك - Mohamed (@Almutawakkil560)How ugly it is to realize you’ve been brutally exploited - and that you’re not even more than just a tool.The Gulf states believed that the massive air defense deals with the US stemmed from a genuine concern for their security and a commitment to protecting their interests as loyal allies. But it seems the story was being told from another angle.. The Gulf money paid was, in reality, an investment in 'protecting American interests,' nothing more.🔻 Here’s what ea ...

The Israeli American offensive against Iran depends on Israel's muscular defense, and we got a rare uplose look at its flagship weapon. Now, Israel's Iron Dome often takes a lot of the credit, but this, the Arrow system, is the tip of the spear of Israel's missile defense. It swats down the high altitude projectiles like the ones fired from Iran.Major A operates the system, which was made in partnership between the US and Israel. He couldn't give his full name or show his face. >> What would you say is the ...

RT 🇷🇺 WARGONZO -ULYANA STRIZH 🇷🇺 (@UlyanaStrizh)Air superiority over Iran has not been achievedThere is a misconception in the information space that the US and Israel have established full control over Iran's airspace, eliminating the threat from the Islamic Republic's ground-based air defense systems. This is completely untrue, and the American military has never directly stated this.The most obvious indication of the aggressor countries' lack of full control over Iran's airspace is the continued tactic o ...

South Korea’s Foreign Minister Cho Hyun says Seoul is in talks with United States Forces Korea about the possible redeployment of weapons including Patriot air defense systems, as Washington’s conflict with Iran escalates https://t.co/otT5zlUu1v ...

The conflict with Iran has underscored the limitations of relying on existing high-end air defense systems against sustained waves of cheaper enemy missiles, drones and guided bombs, the chief strategy officer of Anduril said https://t.co/MNk40Shaf0 ...

RT THE ISLANDER (@IslanderWORLD)That is the sky over Israel — Iranian ballistic missiles pouring through seemingly without end in what was supposed to be the most sophisticated air defence architecture in the world. It is not being stress-tested. It is being hammered.This is the salvo doctrine Iran spent eight years building specifically to do this — flood Patriot, exhaust THAAD, drain Arrow 3, and let the mathematics of empty magazines finish the work. Layer by layer. Night by night. Stocks of interceptors ...

Good morning. It's Friday the 13th, which sounds ominous. This is what is on today's agenda.The scare that trade hits logistics, affordability in focus again in the United States. And the Munich Security Council puts nuclear deterrent. Center stage Asian markets, it seems not immune, at least for now.To that, I fear that China currently across the benchmark, down 1.3%, snapping six days of gains. European futures pointing to very modest gains of a 10th of a percent after ending lower by about $0.05% yesterd ...
